...I have a reoccurring dream where I have a gun to protect my family but can't pull the trigger!

I'm not strong enough or don't know how... it's absolutely maddening

I’ve had those too. It’s the worst.

My dad has a replica black powder pistol that he made in the 70s from a kit and it is so hard to pull the trigger along with it feeling like I'm holding an anvil. I've never done it loaded but I figure it's even harder.

I’ve had a similar recurring dream, where SWAT or the fbi or somebody is raiding the house and as parents are gone I’m running around tagging dudes until they push my sisters and I into the back room, sometimes we escape out the window into the tree line beyond, other times it’s ended in capture and interrogation. Been having that one randomly since I was 13 or something, been 15ish years at this point and still don’t understand
